Post subject: Labor Day Weekend 2008 Family Camping |
 |
|
It's just under two weeks until Labor Day Weekend, where as usual we'll be spending time with our families out at Cachalot.
Members of the Alumni Association and their families are invited out to Cachalot for a family camping weekend, Labor Day weekend, August 29th through September 1st, 2008. Arrival should be after 4pm on Friday, and you should plan to depart by 11am on Monday. All of the usual Camp rules & regulations (which you can find by clicking here) will be in effect. Tent camping only, as Cachalot is neither equipped nor licensed for trailers or campers. Sites are first-come, first-served.
Sites are expected to be quiet by 10pm as a courtesy to other campers.
While there is no fee for the weekend, you must be a registered member of the Alumni Association to attend (or part of a member's family), we'd appreciate an RSVP. You may RSVP for the weekend by sending email to familycamping@cachalotalumni.org. Please let us know how many will be coming, if you think you'll be able to help with the service project (see below), and what days you plan on attending. Remember that our membership year ends on June 30th, so if you haven't yet renewed for the 2008-2009 year, please try to do so online by August 25th or plan to renew when you arrive (and be sure to check out our new, discounted multi-year member options). You can register or renew online by visiting our Membership page here.
As usual, we'll be spending a little time (a few hours on Saturday and a few more on Sunday--we want folks to be able to spend the bulk of their time enjoying Cachalot with their families!) working on some service projects. We plan to do more work on the climbing wall we started at Memorial Day this year (cutting and hanging more Trex planking and installing handholds), and if we have people with the right skill set around, framing up a small kiosk at the Welcome Center at the boathouse. If you are able to help on the service projects, we (and the camp) greatly appreciate it.
We'll also have some organized activities for the kids in attendance to help keep them occupied during the service project, as well as a Sunday evening campfire and songfest. All the scheduled activities are purely optional.
If you have questions, please send email to familycamping@cachalotalumni.org.
Hope to see everyone out there!
